Anthroposophic therapy for children with chronic disease: a two-year prospective cohort study in routine outpatient settings

Abstract: Background: Many children with chronic disease use complementary therapies. Anthroposophic treatment for paediatric chronic disease is provided by physicians and differs from conventional treatment in the use of special therapies (art therapy, eurythmy movement exercises, rhythmical massage therapy) and special medications. We studied clinical outcomes in children with chronic diseases under anthroposophic treatment in routine outpatient settings.

“…The disciplinary background of the first authors varied and included art therapists (n ¼ 2) (Lyshak-Stelzer, Singer, St. John, & Chemtob, 2007;Martin, 2008); nurses (n ¼ 3) (Brewer, Gleditsch, Syblik, Tietjens, & Vacik, 2006;Madden, Mowry, Gao, McGuire Cullen, & Foreman, 2010;Rollins, 2005); psychotherapists (n ¼ 2) (Epp, 2008;Wallace et al, 2004); psychologists (n ¼ 2) (Favara-Scacco, Smirne, Schilirò, & Di Cataldo, 2001;Stefanatou, 2008); counsellors (n ¼ 1) (Beebe, Gelfand, & Bender, 2010); music therapists (n ¼ 1) (Colwell, Davis, & Schroeder, 2005); learning and research services from the department of pediatrics (n ¼ 1) (Kortesluoma, Punamäki, & Nikkonen, 2008); interior designers (n ¼ 1) (Eisen, Ulrich, Shepley, Varni, & Sherman, 2008); social workers (n ¼ 1) (Hamama & Ronen, 2009), anthroposophic medical doctors (n ¼ 1) (Hamre et al, 2009); and population health providers (n ¼ 1) (Mueller, Alie, Jonas, Brown, & Sherr, 2011). Overlap between disciplinary backgrounds of first authors was noted, predominantly within disciplines of art therapy and psychology (e.g.…”

“…Eleven of the 16 studies took place in hospital environments (Brewer et al, 2006;Colwell et al, 2005;Eisen et al, 2008;Favara-Scacco et al, 2001;Hamre et al, 2009;Kortesluoma et al, 2008;Lyshak-Stelzer et al, 2007;Madden et al, 2010;Rollins, 2005;Stefanatou, 2008;Wallace et al, 2004). Of these, the majority (n ¼ 8) occurred in inpatient settings (Brewer et al, 2006;Colwell et al, 2005;Eisen et al, 2008;FavaraScacco et al, 2001;Kortesluoma et al, 2008;Lyshak-Stelzer et al, 2007;Rollins, 2005;Stefanatou, 2008).…”

“…In der umfangreichsten dieser Systemstudien, AMOS, wurden 1642 chronisch durchschnittlich über 6,5 Jahre erkrankte Patienten im Kontext der Routineversorgung mit AM-Kunsttherapie, Heileurythmie, rhythmischer Massage, AM-Arzneimitteln oder einer ausgiebigen AM-ärztlichen Konsultation behandelt und über 4 Jahre nachverfolgt. Die Patienten zeigten in den ersten 3-6 Monaten eine signifikante, klinisch relevante und bis zu 4 Jahre lang anhaltende Besserung in allen untersuchten Krankheitsparametern [16], sowohl diagnoseübergrei-fend als auch in den wichtigsten Diagnosegruppen (Angststörung [25], Asthma [26], ADHS [28], Depression [29], Lendenwirbel säulen(LWS)-Syndrom [30,31], Migräne [27]) bei Erwach senen [16] und Kindern [17] und auch bei allen Therapie modalitäten [20][21][22][23][24]. Gegenüber anderen Einflussfaktoren wurden die Effekte der AM-Therapie mittels einer kombinierten Suppression relevanter Bias-Faktoren (Spontanbesserung, Begleittherapien, Regression zum Mittelwert, Drop-out) abgegrenzt [18].…”
